Description

Hardcover: 334 pages, published in 2013 by Fordham Univ Press. This book offers a revisionary study of modernist aesthetics, challenging traditional understandings of autonomy and fragmentation. Leonard Lisi argues that an alternative aesthetics of dependency provides a distinct formal structure, philosophical foundation, and historical condition for modernist texts. By examining the works of Scandinavian authors such as Kierkegaard and Ibsen, Lisi reveals how they responded to the changing conditions of modernity in ways that differ from those at the European core. This approach has had significant influences on later writers, including James, Hofmannsthal, Rilke, and Joyce. Through close readings and a broader revision of modernism's nature and genealogy, Marginal Modernity sheds new light on the aesthetics of dependency and its implications for understanding our relation to the modern world.
